COMMUTE LOCATOR

WHAT PISSES YOU OFF AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD?

 

Sometimes it is such a hassle trying to find a taxi, or even a bus headed the right way. Though there may be public transportation stands located around the city where people can wait to be picked up, these might not always be available and other forms of transportation may have served them better.

 

The commute locator is a GPS integrated application, which both public transportation vehicles and potential passengers may use to find each other.

 

For the vehicles, they designate where they are headed, or are willing to go, together with availability. For passengers, they designate where they are headed, and which kinds of public transportation they are willing to use.

 

Users are notified whenever a match may occur. This happens when a vehicle and a passenger with similar destinations and preferences are located within a certain distance of one another. This will make it easier for people to know if there are any public transportation vehicles around, or likewise for passengers.4

 

As a security feature, registration could possibly be implemented so that only verified vehicles and users are allowed to use the system. This will prevent public transportation kidnapping, thefts, and the like.
